 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By 1933 Walther Meissner and R. Ochsenfeld discovered that superconductors are more than a perfect conductor of electricity, they also have an interesting magnetic property of excluding a magnetic field.
Meissner Effect will occur only if the magnetic field is relatively small.
In 1986, Georg Bednorz and Alex Müller, working at IBM in Zurich Switzerland, were experimenting with a particular class of metal oxide ceramics called perovskites.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly to Dr Johannes Georg Bednorz and Professor Dr Karl Alexander Müller, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland, for their important breakthrough in the discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials.
The associated Meissner effect was observed for the first time in 1933.
In April 1986 measurements were reported by Georg Bednorz and Alex Müller on an oxide where the transition to superconductivity set in at a temperature of 12°C above the highest then known.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Medicine
In contradistinction to the two professors of Halle, Friedrich Hoffmann (1660-1742) and George Ernst Stahl (1660-1734), of whom former supposed the ether (Leibniz's doctrine of monads) and latter the "soul" to be moving power, Boerhave did not care at all about any moving force that might possibly be present.
The founder of the modern anatomical school of Vienna was the highly gifted Joseph Hyrtl (1811-94); technique of injection and corrosion, organ of hearing, comparative and topographical anatomy), known as a pre-eminent teacher, investigator, and a man of noble character.
He was educated in the views of Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833), Johann Georg Christian Freidrich Martin Lolstein (1777-1835), but particularly of Gabriel Andral of Paris (1797-1876), a leading representative of humoral pathology.

 Taste | World of Health
Clusters of cells called taste buds (because under the microscope they look similar to plant buds) cover the tongue and are also found to a lesser extent on the cheek, throat, and the roof of the mouth.
First discovered in the 19th century by German scientists Georg Meissner and Rudolf Wagner, taste buds lie on the elevated or ridged surface of the tongue (called the papillae) and have hairlike extensions (microvilli) to increase the receptor surface of the cells.
For most foods and substances, saliva breaks down the chemical components that travel through the pores in the papillae to reach the taste buds, which specialize primarily in processing one of the four major taste groups: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Clusters of cells called taste buds (because under the microscope they look similar to plant buds) cover the tongue and are also found to a lesser extent on the cheek, throat, and the roof of the mouth.
First discovered in the 19th century by German scientists Georg Meissner and Rudolf Wagner, taste buds lie on the bumps and grooves of the tongue (called the papillae) and have hairlike extensions (microvilli) to increase the receptor surface of the cells.
Four different pairs of nerves are involved in the tongue, which helps explain in part why the sense of taste is a robust one, and not easily knocked out by disease or trauma.
